Question: Is it possible to change the Subject of an IMAP email? Answer: The IMAP protocol is such that emails (on the server) cannot be changed. This is not a Chilkat limitation, but it is the way IMAP works. In other words, if you want to change an email, you can download it, make changes, then “append” the new email […]
The Solution: Issue solved. The problem was, that we stepped through the code and because of that too much time elapsed between connect and authentication. As we ran the program without breakpoints it worked. The Problem: The AuthenticatePw method failed and the LastErrorText contained this information: ChilkatLog: AuthenticatePw: DllDate: Jan 31 2010 UnlockPrefix: *** Username: *** Component: .NET 2.0 SshVersion: […]

The user certificate has a certification path. Is it possible to read out the fingerprint of the top-level root certificate? Answer: Here is a sample program. The user certificate is […]

If some or all of these fail with an error code of 0x80070005, it is because of a permissions problem. Do the following to successfully register the ActiveX DLL’s on the system: Copy the DLL’s to c:\Windows\System32 Right-click on […]

Here’s an example that demonstrates a rough start to creating a C# console SSH shell terminal (where the user can type commands and output from the remote command echos to the console: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.IO; namespace SshTerminalConsole { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Chilkat.Ssh ssh = new Chilkat.Ssh(); ssh.UnlockComponent(“Test”); // Hostname may […]
Notice: The functionality described here is deprecated and replaced by a newer model for asynchronous method calls. The newer model was introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.52, and is identified by methods having names ending in “Async” which return a task object. The Chilkat HTTP component has a set of methods and properties that allow already-existing methods to be called asynchronously. For […]
Notice: The functionality described here is deprecated and replaced by a newer model for asynchronous method calls. The newer model was introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.52, and is identified by methods having names ending in “Async” which return a task object. The following example demonstrates the older, deprecated asynchronous HTTP functionality that allows for any HTTP method to be run asynchronously […]
This is a summary of the steps I’m taking to debug the following problem: I am trying to login using Chilkat HTTP to this site: Startseite and after the login, there is a 302 redirect. After the redirect, the session is lost. I believe it could be another cookie related issue. 1. Make sure I’m using the very latest version […]
